You shouldn't need port forwarding if your router supports uPnP.
If you are having problems hosting, one thing to check is the Windows firewall. That was the issue I had.
On Windows 10 at least, open Windows defender firewall, on the left click on Advanced settings, then in the next window on the left look at inbound rules and outbound rules and make sure nothing is blocked for DCS. I found two entries in the inbound rules that were set to block. I think I had accidentally clicked on block one of those times when the firewall prompt popped up.
